This is a test, this is only a test, of the Emergency Holocaust System. Had there been an actual Holocaust in your area, local mullahs would have instructed you where to go and what to do (as they do habitually) -- and denied that any Holocaust had ever happened.

To add Jewish insult to Jewish injury, an organization headed by someone manifestly Jewish (or, at least, of Jewish ethnicity), comes charging out saying that the fact that there are Christians in the Pentagon is destroying America’s war effort, beca... [Read More]

The convention was an intentional provocation - a big middle finger to those who would otherwise shove that finger right back up Ahmadinejad’s a$$ if not for that fact that appeasers, the media, various foreign policy experts and certain Democrats ar... [Read More]

Ouch! Yesterday I saw a 60 minutes piece about the genocide in Rwanda. Never forgetting doesn't mean it won't happen again. We still think it could never happen to us.
And the majority of us think it could never possibly REALLY happen again to those of "us" who are Jews.
So what is the problem? Does the west still really not take the middle east seriously? Still not realize that these people who are "extremists" are not toddlers waving tiny fists in a tantrum that will pass?
The President of Iran is a frighteningly eloquent man when he wants to be.
Thanks (again) for the links and wry humor.

Too funny, Jeremiah. Reminds me of my grandmother's confussion [English was her third language] between the words "Holocost" and "Holy Ghost".

Hi Ren.kat and welcome back,
The President of Iran believes in himself, his words, his purpose - far more than most of us do in ourselves, our words, our purposes. That scares, but motivates me.
About thinking something could never happen again: I think of the possible optimism Dreyfus and his partisans felt when he was exonerated ... and then the long slow approach to 1933, 1939, 19..
There's a line from Baudelaire that's always stayed with me, about people being "condemned to always hope."

Hi, Zig,
If I can make you, the professional stand-up comic, laugh, then it must be good.
